Spending breakdown reveals how NHS England cash flowed to private firms Telephone provider Vodafone is paid £13.5m and computer maker Dell gets £3.6m in first year of coalition’s new-look NHS. Tech firms, management consultants and private healthcare companies have received millions of pounds in payments from public funds in the first full financial year of the coalition’s new-look NHS, an analysis by the Guardian can reveal. Last week NHS England, the body which assigns £96bn to fund the health service, produced its first detailed report on all spending over £25,000 in the 12 months up to April 2014. Unlike other government departments, the health service has never published comprehensive accounts, and NHS England only acted after campaigners received 76,000 signatures over 48 hours in a petition organised by online activists 38 Degrees and transparency lobbyists Spinwatch. theguardian/society/2014/nov/27/nhs-england-millions-pounds-private-companies
